Our Story…

After much preparation and lots of hard work, Columbia Kettle Works opened its doors in May of 2014 on the first floor of the former United Telephone Co. building in Columbia. This hidden gem is locally owned and operated by Rod Smith and Bill Collister, longtime co-workers at the Farason Corporation, who not only share a passion for engineering but also a love for craft beers. Combining their years of work experience together with their passion for craft beer, Bill and Rod have seen their vision of operating their own craft brewery become a successful reality.

Our Beer & Wine…

With eight beers on taps and a premium selection of wines available, Columbia Kettle Works is ready to host those appreciate the innovative tastes and creative varieties of a craft microbrewery.

Our Foods…

As a perfect complement to your drink selection, Columbia Kettle Works offers a savory selection of snacks, meat & cheese plates, and paninis. To the extent possible, the food and snack menu is locally sourced…from old fashioned sourdough pretzels made by Hammond’s to the crisp & crunchy pickles from Dynamite Dill, from Crazy Corkey’s Kettle Corn to handcrafted paninis…everything is fresh and delicious.
